Sustainability rating tools

Transcription

1 Sustainability rating tools Cundall has qualified and experienced assessors for the world s most widely used rating tools, including BREEAM, LEED and Green Star and has been offering these services for over 20 years. We have developed methodologies and tools to manage and simplify the process, from the initial workshop through to obtaining the final certification. These include: P reparing a sustainability plan setting out the steps to achieve the desired rating and to manage the risks (technical and cost) Issuing templates and examples of documentary evidence required for the project team members Using an on-line document management system to track and report the status of all documentation prepared for the rating submission We take a practical and pragmatic approach to obtaining building ratings, offering advice on how these can be achieved cost-effectively. We appreciate the limitations, and frustrations, that arise from the use of such tools when designing buildings, and proactively guide the team throughout the journey to achieve the agreed outcomes. Cundall can also provide bespoke sustainability frameworks for individual clients and projects, drawing on our extensive knowledge of the rating tools as well as best practice sustainability measures in order to maximise the performance of the project.

5 WELL Building Standard services Cundall is the first consultancy in Europe to have delivered a project to the WELL standard and submitted for certification. We are now working on a range of projects, building on our experience across sectors and types of buildings. WELL Accredited Professionals (WELL AP ) Cundall s WELL APs are able to offer advice and guidance based on our experience in delivering the WELL Standard, helping clients to achieve WELL certification. Healthy materials The choice of materials and finishes are fundamental to achieving a healthy building. Our knowledge of WELL and air quality regulations enables us to provide design teams with advice and guidance on palettes of materials. The choice of materials needs to be considered in conjunction with in use-activities such as the cleaning protocols to ensure that what starts off as a healthy material remains so. Air quality We help optimise and enhance indoor air quality, by producing bespoke indoor air quality plans. This would include air testing, monitoring as well as filter selection to enhance air quality. We could advise on the use of specific plants to actively clean the air, depending on the pollutant type. We can provide advice on a range of biophilic measures, such as: Quality of daylight & melanopic lux; Plants for people and the impact on cognitive performance; Material texture and colour. Plants Cundall has undertaken pioneering research into green roofs and active green walls for purifying local air quality. We use this research to help inform plant selection for different uses and locations. Understanding the sensitivity of certain plants to light levels is important for their survival, as well as avoiding their respiring during daylight hours. Human comfort It is fundamental that the basic building blocks for comfort; temperature, noise, humidity and air movement are designed correctly. Cundall is an industry leader in setting and assessing design standards for human comfort, we can provide expert advice where required. It is not enough to design to a standard. Monitoring comfort in use is the only way of ensuring that it is delivered. Acoustic soundscapes Acoustic design is not just an issue of privacy/sound levels, it also about providing an acoustic landscape that enhances the occupants connection with nature. Cundall s award winning acoustics team can help developed soundscapes that promote productivity and wellbeing. Water quality It is generally accepted that water from a municipal supplies are of a high quality. However, for individual buildings and sites this may not be the case. In reality, if you don t test, you don t know what you have! We provide advice and guidance on water testing as well as remedial measures such as water filters, if required. Biophilic design Cundall has been carrying out research into the affinity of people to nature for a number of years.
